01 / Overview

What is .int?

The .int extension is reserved for international treaty organisations such as the United Nations agencies. The .int extension was created in 1988 and is one of the oldest top level domains.

This extension is not available for public registration. Only international organisations set up by a treaty between governments can register a .int domain. It is not open to companies or individuals. We keep this page so you can see what .int is and choose a similar extension that is open.

Here is how it looks in real life. This one is not for businesses or people. A Pakistani organisation should use .org or .pk instead.

Terms run from 1 to 1 years. Longer terms lock in the price and avoid yearly reminders. Once a name expires, recovery depends on registry rules.
